    You think they made it public, in order to scare journalists? A two-fer act of cowardice, maybe? I can’t help but wonder

    "On this occasion, the journalists who thought they were traveling with Trump on the older Air Force One reported being advised to keep their window shades in the press cabin closed. The Post said some White House staff also believed the president was on board.

    When asked later by reporters why they had to keep their shades shut during the flight, Trump said it was because they were “probably on ​a dangerous flight”. He went onto say: “But if I go, you go. Right?”

    The C-32A carrying Trump flew to Britain, arriving at about 10.20pm local time with the older Air Force One and media arriving minutes later, the Post reported."

    He left press and staff on the then decoy plane, likely convinced they would be attacked and killed.

      He walked onto Air Force One, slipped out a side enterence into a catering truck, and boarded another plane somewhere else down the runway because he was afraid Iran wants to kill him.

      Then when they landed in the UK he snuck back onto Air Force One so it could look like he was on it the whole time.

      Even reality TV isn’t this dumb. I say this as someone who can’t stand reality TV.

      How do you know he didn’t?

      Maybe there’s a dead assassin somewhere.

      That miasma has to be against like seven different conventions on chemical warfare
